John Carpenter Gives CHVRCHES Single “Good Girls” the Cinematic Treatment [Listen]

I’ve been looking for an excuse to cover the forthcoming CHVRCHES album, Screen Violence, out August 27th through Glassnote Records, and now have more than reason.

The Scottish synth-pop band has teamed up with John Carpenter for two extra special remixes.

The iconic film director of The Thing, Halloween, Escape From New York, They Live, In the Mouth of Madness and many more genre-defining horror classics, and legendary actor, screenwriter and composer, John Carpenter, has reworked CHVRCHES’ recent single “Good Girls”. Listen here.

In turn, CHVRCHES has reworked John Carpenter’s “Turning The Bones”, taken from his recently released album, Lost Themes III: Alive After Death. You can listen to that track here.

Both remixes are available digitally now and will be released on 7” vinyl on December 10 – available to pre-order via Sacred Bones now.


“As horror fans, we know that John Carpenter is the godfather and the gold standard so we’re so excited to get to work with him in any capacity,” said CHVRCHES’ frontwoman Lauren Mayberry. “His films and music have been so impactful on us over the years, and without the stories he created, I am not sure that the concept of Screen Violence (and female narratives within the album) would exist in the way they do.

“On every album, we get “remixes” but given the themes of this record, we had the idea that maybe we could get a song reimagined by a composer who has worked in that cinematic universe,” she continues. “John was top of our wishlist but we never really thought he’d reply, let alone that he’d send back something better than the original.”

Responsible for much of the horror genre’s most striking soundtrack work in the fifteen movies he’s both directed and scored, John Carpenter says, “Chvrches reached out to us through our tour manager, asking if we would be interested in remixing one of their songs for their upcoming album. They sent us three or four tracks for us to listen to and decide which one we wanted to remix, and we went from there. We chose the track we did because we connected with it the most and felt it would adapt best to our style. After we finished our remix, we asked them if they could also remix one of our songs in return, and they thought it was a great idea.”

The Top 10 Streaming Scary Movies of Today (According to Netflix)

Given that Netflix really is the master of their own data, how many times a viewer streams The Ridiculous 6, or what films don't get watched all the way straight through, or how many times someone watches an episode of Bill Nye Saves the World, it was easy for them to come up with the list based on just one percentage: 70 percent.
